I've mentioned before that I was not familiar with broccoli till I came to the US. This dish is
another instance of how the colorful vegetable blends perfectly with mushrooms and rice. The
result is a flavorful combination that can stand on its own as a main course, besides being used as
a side dish. In addition to being low on calories, it requires little preparation time and is a
blessing for vegetarians. In fact, I am a vegetarian for two days of the week for religious reasons,
and this pilaf is often my lunch!
